Florence Nightingale the superhero

Today we learnt about Florence Nightingale and the changes she made to hospitals. We were disgusted to discover that hospitals during he Crimean war were dirty, had rats in them and not enough food or beds for the soldiers. We compared pictures before and after Florence Nightingale had made changes and then looked at the impact this had on the hospitals we know now. We also enjoyed dressing up as doctors and nurses and treating each other.
